What happens at KBWomen Chapter meetings?
KBWomen Chapters have a set meeting agenda that emphasizes networking, building relationships, encouragement, and business skill learning topics.

  • A resource table for you (and other attendees) to place fliers, business cards and brochures on.

  • A monthly, business learning topic for group discussion. Some discussions involve handouts or other activities.

  • The opportunity to meet, build relationships and network with other like-minded women of God, who also understand who you are as a businesswoman.

  • It's a fun, friendly learning environment, that includes opening meetings with prayer.

All KBWomen Chapters review the same monthly learning topics. Monthly learning topics can be viewed HERE.

Who can attend KBWomen Chapter meetings? Are meetings for members only?
KBWA Members who pre-register for meetings attend free, although all non-member Christian women in business are welcome and encouraged to attend also (see fee information below). Business owners, those who run non-profits, authors and speakers, coaches and consultants, independent agents, or other entrepreneurial people will get the most benefit out of what chapter meetings have to offer.

Although our target market is Christian women in business, Christian men in business are welcome to attend if they would like to.

Can I attend even if I’m not sure I’m an official Christian?
Sure – Just be aware that we are a faith-based organization and we freely speak about God, the Bible, prayer, and other spiritual topics and how they relate to business. We'd love to have you join us, and you are welcome.

FYI - By Christian, we mean those who profess a Bible-based faith, and believe in Jesus as God's only Son and Savior of the world. Koinonia Business Women is a non-denominational organization.

Is there a fee to attend KBWomen Chapter meetings?
That depends!

  • Members of the Koinonia Business Women's Association who pre-register for meetings, will attend FREE.

  • Members who do not pre-register will pay a $5 fee at the door.

  • Non-members who pre-register for meetings pay $5.

  • Non-members who do not pre-register to attend pay $10 at the door.

We put an emphasis on pre-registration to help Chapter Leaders plan appropriately.

What does KBWomen do with meeting fees?
Running chapters effectively and efficiently requires time, assistant expenses and online systems. All of these require money! KBWomen Chapter meeting fees help our organization continue to bring value and opportunities for collaboration to the lives of Christian women in business.

When does my local KBWomen Chapter meet?
KBWomen Chapters meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. Leaders have the opportunity to select their chapter’s meeting time (morning, mid-day or evening) and location. Each chapter has its own page on KBWomen.com, including the location, time and leader's contact info. Please visit our KBWomen Chapters page for meeting time details.

Is there a Chapter in my area? What if there isn't yet?
Each open chapter has its own page on KBWomen.com, including the leader’s profile, bio and contact information. Please visit our KBWomen Chapters page for location details.

If there is not a meeting in your area yet, please consider letting other women know about this opportunity. You may know someone who would enjoy leading a chapter. If you are, or someone you know may be, potentially interested in chapter leadership, visit our Chapter Leader FAQ page HERE to learn more.

What should I bring with me to Chapter meetings?
Please bring note-taking items, business cards to exchange, brochures or fliers, a smile, and a mind ready to learn and contribute. Depending on your chapter’s meeting location, you may want to bring yourself a water bottle, coffee, etc. Also, be prepared with a quick, 1-minute introduction of yourself and your business to share with the group! Feel free to also bring a friend.

Before the meeting, please pre-register if possible. This helps our Chapter Leaders to prepare more accurately, plus pre-registrants pay a reduced meeting fee!

How do I become a KBWomen Chapter Leader?
Visit the Chapter Leader FAQ Page. If you would like to open a KBWomen Chapter in your local area, we have an application process. Start HERE for step 1 of that process. The next step is receiving our full application. Fill this out and email it back to us at questions@kbwomen.com when completed. If your application is accepted (this may take several business days), we will personally call you to discuss this further. Our goal is to set up a win-win-win situation for all involved (You, our organization and the women who will be served). KBWomen Chapter Leaders play a vital role in our organization, and we strive to wisely select our leaders.
